Blackthorne

"You've got to keep one eye looking over your shoulder
you know it's going to get harder and harder as you
get older - but in the end you'll pack up, fly down south, hide your head in the sand.  Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer." - Dogs, Pink Floyd.

Robocop... Yeah I was 2 when I first watched it and I loved it. Wow... I had a great and beautiful childhood. Yeah but Robocop I loved and still do at the big age of... 19. :')

Hah... wow.  Nice.  By the time you were born, I'd already seen RoboCop like 120+ times.

Great film.  I like all of Paul Verhoven's stuff, though - RoboCop is brilliant satire.  Funny side story, the actor who played him, Peter Weller, is an adjunt professor at Syracuse University, in my town.  He's about town quite frequently; few years ago, I had a pint of Guinness with him, and we talked about RoboCop.  He's a serious actor, but he still loves to talk about that film.  Cool guy.

Something tells me he made more money as Robocop.

Yep.  But still, as an adjunct who comes in to teach a seminar course every once in a while, he gets paid a pretty princely sum.  SU has money coming out of it's ass; it's ridiculous.  Course they don't spend any of it on protecting the campus from the ever encroaching ghetto at it's borders.
